Decadent Dark Rum Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer set to medium speed, cream 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar, and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

4. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of dark rum, blending until smooth.

5. Combine Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

6. Shape the Cookies:
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake:
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.

8. Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
